I've got an inordinate stash of the Little Folks fabric collection by Anna Maria Horner! Even though I have previously made several quilts from these super soft voile fabrics (see here and hereandhere) the stash remains. So it was time to revisit Little Folks ~ and not just for stash reductions reasons; these fabrics are a joy to work with:

This really is a very simple design using the fabric's colors and prints to provide visual effect and interest.

Can you also see from the pictures that I have added an extra set of quilting lines ~ stitching two lines on either side of all seam lines? Twice the amount of quilting to create a more detailed grid of intersecting lines. Well worth the extra effort.

There's nothing quite like 100% cotton goodness, especially when fabrics are oh so soft, I do wish you could feel this quilt ... I have bound the quilt in my favorite Little Folks print: Little Honey in Ink

As usual, myEtsy Store has been updated ~ you can find the listing for this Little Folks Quilt here.

I'm learning so much about quilting options by studying your quilts... and I've been trying out the double/triple row pattern on several mug rugs... practicing, don't you know! I like the effect... and the grid pattern you chose for this quilt is just perfect! The quilt turned out beautifully...

This is terrific! I like the diagonal piecing and the quilting. I never thought of that. I made a triangle quilt and I'm sewing "in the ditch" which is hard because you turn the quilt all around in circles. What an inspiration you are to me. Thank you.
